Whole-Home Fan Powered Humidifier Vs. Whole-Home Bypass Humidifier
by Melissa Stevens on Feb 02, 2022
EnviroAire offers two different whole-home humidification solutions, but do you know which one is best for your home?
Choosing the right humidification system for your home is essential to add just the right amount of moisture to your home’s dry air. However, it can be challenging to decide which humidifier is suitable for your home. Below are the differences between our two whole-home humidifiers to help you decide which one is right for you!
Benefits Of A Whole-Home Fan Powered Humidifier
- Recent studies show that humidified air can help prevent viruses like Covid-19 and other harmful bacteria, dust mites, and fungi.
- Improves respiratory health and allergy/asthma symptoms.
- Boosts immune system response.
- Makes indoor air quality more comfortable by eliminating dry-air symptoms like static and dry skin.
- Protects your home from dry rotting, cracked and warped wood, and dull wood surfaces.
- Can be installed directly without the need for additional ductwork modifications.
Benefits Of A Whole-Home Bypass Humidifier

As you can see, the first 5 bullet points are the same for both humidifiers. However, there is one significant difference. To put it simply, the Whole-Home Bypass Humidifier requires ductwork modifications. In other words, your HVAC system would need to be modified to install the humidifier. The 1” Polarized Media Air Cleaner does not require ductwork modifications.
In summary, if you’re not looking to modify your HVAC system, but you still want a powerful humidifier, go with the Whole-Home Fan Powered Humidifier. If you’re looking for a quieter humidification system that uses the furnace's blower motor and you don’t mind having your ductwork modified, go with the Whole-Home Bypass Humidifier.
